The sad thing is, had they packed out the Pyramid with 90's/00's acts on the Sunday last year, rather than anything contemporary, It would have been rammed.
The huge resurgence in pop punk and general nostalgia acts was already clear back in summer/fall 2023 (which I presume was when these bookings and placements were determined). And Janelle's latest album bombing was also a big sign. Emily said back in 2019 that she's a huge Janelle fan, so she may have been the one to push for a large Pyramid slot.
Wish I remembered the names of all the places... there was a great vegan soup/juice stand at the edge of the Green Fields towards the direction of West Holts area that was great.
Loved all the smoothie options too at various places... not sure if it helped but I bought these as much as possible to try to stay healthy.
